The New York Yankees are in a pretty good place right now for several reasons. One is that their pitching has improved, and the hitting has come alive. Another is that the Yankees are almost whole, with key players returning from the IL. Unfortunately, in a shortened season, everything is magnified. There was no time to play poorly. Unfortunately for the Yankees, they couldn’t avoid a slow patch. With pitching faltering and hitting non-existent, the Yankees slid. A number of injuries eclipsing last year’s unprecedented number of injuries hit the team at the same time, and the Yankees lost 15 of 20 games, right in the middle of the season.
